With games against West Brom, Newcastle and Leicester to come, he has not given up hope of completing a hat-trick of Golden Boot awards, although he is four behind Liverpool's Mo Salah in the race for the strikers' holy grail.

Spurs effectively need four points from their last three games to clinch a top-four finish at capital rivals Chelsea's expense, but Kane also has his eyes on a familiar prize.

He said: “It's something I want to win – every striker in the country wants to win the Golden Boot, and I'm no different.

“I want to win everything I do, whether it's the Golden Boot or the next game – even if I'm just playing a game with my mates. I want to win that, and I'm not afraid to say so.

“The most important thing is qualifying for the Champions League. Hopefully we can secure that and we can go again from there.

“It's nice to be back on the goal trail and I'm looking forward to the last three weeks of the season. I've got two in my last two Premier League games and my ankle feels good.

“The pressure was on us a bit against Watford, but now we have a little gap with three games left.”

Kane admitted there was no escaping the colossal disappointment of finishing yet another season empty-handed after the FA Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester United.

Tottenham have won just one trophy this century, and only two in the last 27 years, and he said: “I hate to lose, the team hates to lose.

“We went through three games in different competitions where we did not win and we want to put that right.

“When you don't play well, you want to put it right straight away, but we had to wait nine days and it showed. We were a bit slow, especially in the first half, and it was only thanks to (goalkeeper) Hugo Lloris that we went in ahead at half-time, but we got the second goal to kill the game.”
